Cravings for sugar and carbs are pretty much gone. I also use intermittent fasting almost daily, and most days I have to force myself to eat my first meal. It’s not a “diet” it’s a lifestyle change. If you make sure you’re getting all the proper nutrients and minerals, you can eat this way forever. I plan to! I mean obviously there will be a day every so often when I may cheat. Like birthdays, or Christmas, etc. But I actually enjoy this way of eating much more than a standard North American diet!

That’s basically what I’m doing. Just making sure I don’t go over my calorie goal for the day. The goal being set that I lose 2lbs/week. I do keep the carbs low but I wouldn’t say I’m in Ketosis. If I want to eat something with carbs but it fits into my daily range I do it. I’m never starving and feel satisfied when I do eat. My way works, I just want to make sure there isn’t something out there that is way better. Maybe what I do is considered Keto Lite

It’s not Keto anything if you don’t get yourself into a ketogenic state. It would just be a low carb diet.

Ya you’re correct. Thanks for all the advice and links. I’ll do some more research and see if it’s right for me. For now, I’ll stick to the low carb diet and see if it will continue working for me.

Should get most from what you eat as long as you include leafy greens (cruciferous) veg in your diet (7-10cups daily).
Magnesium, Potassium and electrolytes are the key ones to watch as without carbs your body isn't "holding onto" these. Be careful w/potassium though, best to consult your doc.
Cheers,
Scott.

Day 8, 12 pounds down. I really don't have persay a goal in mind, I used to follow this eating lifestyle, hardcore first years ago, and slowly reverted back to eating poorly.
Now that I am once again back on track, I truly realize what crap I was back to eating, and putting back into my body.
Years ago when I went hardcore, I lost 40 lbs in four months. Maintained the lifestyle for probably 2 years or more, then life changes abit, so does eating habits I guess.
I never gained all 40 lbs back, but slowly gained weight, lost energy, too many beers.. list goes on.
So, 8 days ago, I said self?? Time for a change, so lets dance.
Reopened that door that I had closed, and haven't felt this great in years!!
I enjoy reading the success stories, good luck to all !!

The largest weight loss is the first few weeks...After that, the pounds come off more slowly...
I lost 30lbs since September and then xmas came and stayed consistent ( up a few and down a few pounds)
Once you have lost a good amount of weight, look at more of a lifestyle change and slowly lose more weight.....
Still need a balance and a couple cheats days along the way..LOL

We really started to add lemon to our water . Even now we have hot lemon water instead of coffee.

Atta boy. I lost 26 lbs in the month of January. I also hit the stationary bike and weights pretty hard so pretty sure I gained a little muscle as well so probably lost more fat than I think. Was usually 4-6 grams of carbs per day.
The weight loss leveled off after 5 weeks. I decided to go back to a moderate carb diet and have been able to maintain.
I used the 0 carb water enhancers every day with no adverse effect.
If you find the weight loss stops search up carb cycling. Might help.

You do not need to have any complications to do this. I know many people who do it for the health benefits and the energy it gives you. Alot of people got blood work the first week. Then a couple months later got it again and everything was much better.

Having said that though, you still need fat in your diet, but need more protein than fat or carbs.
Troutbug has posted some really good info and links above.

You want most of your calories to come from........ fat. At least 65%
Generally, the macronutrient ratio varies within the following ranges: 60-75% of calories from fat (or even more), 15-30% of calories from protein, and. 5-10% of calories from carbs.

Diabetes II
I've been on keto for almost 2 wks now my Wieght loss is hanging around 10lbs, but with exercising now there may also be some muscle building. I'm a diabetes 2 person and prior to starting the keto diet I was taking 80 units of insulin a day, as my blood sugar drops I have had to decrease my insulin. I am now down to 50 units per day. That's a pretty significant reduction, so far.

Keto + Carnivore = "ketovore"
More meat ( we're hunter's , right?) , more fat , only minimal carbs from good stuff. (5% D.V.)
If you really want a wake up call on processed foods , research Senomyx.
Corporations are killing us and worse.
